Vulnerability Assessment

The Vulnerability Assessment consists of a vulnerability scan against the target systems, aiming to identify known software flaws and misconfigurations. The typical attributes of the scanning include the following:

• Validation of the patch management process
• Identification of common system misconfigurations
• Best practices recommendations
• Focus on breadth coverage

The objective of the Vulnerability Assessment is to validate the minimum level of security that should be applied to the scanned systems. By definition, as opposed to a Penetration Test,  it does not involve exploitation of the identified security flaws and it is performed using industry-leading automated tools.
